The G Major Scale on Ukulele

Now we know the C major scale and have further understanding of musical keys, we look at the G major scale in the key of G major.

G major scale

The only difference between the C major scale and the G major scale is 1 note in this case. So, by using the C major scale shape we already know, the next steps to playing the G Major scale are to...

• Play the same C major scale shape we know

• Then, try starting and ending the same scale on the G notes - using our chord shape to help guide us to the notes

• Now we change the F note to an F# note by moving up to the second fret on the 3rd string rather than the 1st fret

We can use the sound of the G major chord to help make sure our scale fits and sounds correct.
